Newbie from the UK

I'm from the UK, 37, a few lbs too many so thought I'd get on self propelled 2 wheels. I used to ride masses when I was young as I lived in the middle of nowhere and had no choice!

I love riding and I'm so glad I got into it in my adult life. I'm about 3 weeks in to owning my new specialised crosstrail and love it. I've done 40 miles in the last week and really feel like I'm getting somewhere.
